We all know that lotus root is a popular autumn delicacy. There are many ways to eat it. Most people will use lotus root to stew soup. The taste of lotus root is different. Some lotus roots are powdery, while some are crispy. So what kind of lotus root is powdery? Let's take a closer look! What kind of lotus root is pinker?1. When buying lotus roots, if conditions permit and the stall owner agrees, we can break off a small piece of lotus root to try the taste. Lotus roots with high starch content will become sticky when stewed in soup, and such lotus roots will mostly taste astringent. 2. Lotus roots are divided into 9-hole and 11-hole lotus roots. It seems that they can also be distinguished by the number of holes. It is often said that the 9-hole lotus root is crispy, and the 11-hole lotus root is powdery. 3. We also ask about the origin to distinguish. For example, we mostly choose lotus roots from Caidian. The lotus roots produced in this place have a more glutinous taste, but we can't generalize. 4. Break the lotus root apart. The crisp lotus root is still connected, but the pink lotus root will not be like this. 5. The darker one is the crispy lotus root, and the whiter one is the pink lotus root; 6. Time: Lotus roots after the seventh month of the lunar calendar will be pinker; 7. For the same lotus root, the thicker parts in the middle and the tail are more powdery, while the thinner head is more crispy. How to choose lotus root1. Look at the colorThe skin of the crispy and sweet lotus root is white, while the skin of the soft and sticky lotus root is slightly pink or yellowish brown. 2. Feel the textureThe crispy and sweet lotus root skin feels smooth, while the soft and sticky lotus root skin feels rough. 3. Chew a small pieceIf the lotus root seller doesn't mind, you can break off a small piece of lotus root and take a bite. Generally, the crispy lotus root will taste a little sweet, while the soft and sticky lotus root will taste more astringent. 4. Weigh itFor two pieces of lotus root of the same size, the soft and sticky one has less water, so it is relatively heavier, while the crispy and sweet one has plenty of water, so it is relatively lighter. 5. Look at the locationOn a whole lotus root, generally speaking, the nodes closer to the front are more tender, while the ones closer to the back are more solid. The starch deposits at the back are the richest, making them relatively more suitable for stewing. How to tell if lotus root is freshAt first glance, there is a clear difference between fresh lotus roots and stale ones. Fresh lotus roots have more moisture, while stale ones look shriveled because some of the moisture has evaporated. Second, smell it. Fresh lotus roots are those that have just been dug out of the lotus pond and still have the smell of soil. Stale lotus roots do not have the smell of soil. Three, weigh it. Fresh lotus roots are full of moisture and will feel a little heavier, while stale lotus roots will feel lighter. |
